Some people might be ashamed of such a stomach, but not Love. He told Ryan Chell at WFNZ that he thinks he has the best gut in the league now that Vince Wilfork has finally retired.

Kyle Love on if he has the best gut on the team: "I think it's the best in the league. When I was with the Patriots, it was me and @wilfork75 competing…now that he's out of the league…I think I have it…" pic.twitter.com/MNG4f5dRar

He has been with Carolina ever since, playing in 41 games but only starting four. Despite playing a relatively small number of snaps, Love has been productive. He’s posted eight sacks over the last three seasons. Love is projected to back up Dontari Poe at nose tackle this year.
